      The Matrix: The Logic Fits Perfectly

      From my simple understanding, many ways of thinking in the film refer to Buddhism, or the whole film is through the Buddhist system to convey a story that may shake all your ideas.

      Neo was told by Morpheus at the beginning not to be obsessed with right and wrong. That is to say, in such a world, whether rules and common sense have a definition of right and wrong is itself the beginning of shaking. Then he began to explain the matrix. He kept saying that he couldn't give a thorough...

      Where "the Matrix" is Worth Thinking about and Awesome

      1. Is the invention of AI a good thing?

      Humans invented AI, expecting AI to have the ability to learn autonomously until it is controlled by AI. Humans want to block solar energy by destroying the atmosphere and darkening the sky, thus cutting off the energy of AI. Unexpectedly, AI is still smarter. It uses human embryos as batteries to extract energy and simulates the "maternal world" for human consciousness activities. It is a very interesting...

      The Matrix: Absolute Consciousness

      When I watched The Matrix 1 when I was in elementary school, people around me said they were confused and couldn't understand. Only I thought that everyone was drunk and I was awake.

      Looking back 10 years later, I found that all understanding at that time was only scratching the surface, too Too superficial. I have to admit that the dirty driver who is deeply influenced by Japanese animation culture has a too strong mind and courage. Our real existence is thoroughly impacted by this...

      A redemption classic with a strong biblical stamp

      In general, this is a film about redemption, the same theme, always able to reinvent itself, from the Shawshank Redemption to the Green Miracle, Americans give us surprises beyond pure biblical films, the latter referring to the Passion of the Christ. This kind of drama, real history, heavy raw.
          The most exciting theme with the most fashionable element: freedom. The expression is very strong, but without reflection and exploration, I am afraid it will become entertainment.

      Instrumental rational film and television teaching materials?

      This movie is actually not as mysterious as everyone says. At least not so mysterious.

      Why does the Hollywood model always change the soup but not the medicine, but there are always people who exclaim that there is no one before or after? ?

      Oh! Because it contains so many sentences that sparkle with wisdom! It also has a world of the matrix that subverts our cognition!

      Again, modern people have almost reached the point where they support their beliefs with just a...

      20170623【Shanghai Film Festival Screening】From watching VCD, DVD, to today's big screen. I forgot how many times I've watched it, but I still find it fresh and beautiful. Even a movie from 20 years ago is still not outdated in terms of concept. In direct comparison, it is easy to see that it has obviously borrowed a lot of elements and ideas from "Ghost in the Shell", and has successfully carried it forward // 20200822 China Film Archive Beijing Film Festival 4K Restoration Taiwan Version Copy a
